A propos de cet article

New York. 1977. May 1977. Harper & Row. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Slightly Worn Price-Clipped Dustjacket. 0060147687. Afterword by Michel Fabre. 147 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Linda Dingler. Artwork by Diane & Leo Dillon. keywords: African American Literature America. DESCRIPTION - Anyone who has read Richard Wright's BLACK BOY knows it to be one of the great American autobiographies. Covering Wright's early life in the South, the book concludes with his departure in 1934 for a new life in the North. Now, more than thirty years after the publication of Black Boy, Wright's story is continued with AMERICAN HUNGER. Although it was written in the early 1940s as a second part to BLACK BOY, AMERICAN HUNGER was severed by Wright from the main autobiography and the bulk of it has, until now, remained unpublished. AMERICAN HUNGER is a vital, richly anecdotal work. It treats with feeling and frequently with wry humor Wright's struggle to make his way in the North - in Chicago - as store clerk, dishwasher, and eventually as a writer. He deals movingly with his early days in the Communist Party and with his attempts to keep his integrity in the face of Parry demands that he subordinate his artistic goals to their needs. And he recounts with a mixture of pain and irony his break with the Party and the tortured period of ostracism that followed. There is an unsettling and totally frank personal story here, and a lot of raw social history as well. Filled with vivid images and memorable portraits of the people and movements of the period, AMERICAN HUNGER is a spellbinding work, both historically and as a rediscovery of value in American literature. inventory #21940 Very Good in Slightly Worn Price-Clipped Dustjacket. …
